Went to Sam Murphy for my latest two pieces and will continue to strictly go to her now. she is an apprentice that will go into being a full artist.

I've gotten my nips pierced over the summer and now my nose. This place doesn't have great reviews but I haven't had a problem with them. For $45 for nipples and $25 for my nose, it's really cheap and they get the job done. I have no complaints and my piercings are fine. Read Less

Decided to get my nose pierced (FINALLY) & arrived around 9 pm. The person at the front desk was so warm & friendly & the person who pierced my nose did it so quick & efficient, I barely flinched!

Will only go to Stevie for tattoos- she has done my last four: very talented and has a great eye. I just showed her a few pictures of my general idea for the poppy flowers and she created a master piece. Not a carbon copy. I only get my piercings done here too. Price is very fair and the piercer is very professional and knows what he is doing. He is the owner of the shop too. I have had my nipples and eye brow pierced by him, and they were perfect. Stevie has my loyalty as far as tattoos go. Read Less

Tattooed by Stevie. Tattoo ink did not stay. Line work was a mess. Shading was all over the place. The cover up was still visible. Paid good money to someone who took no accountability in her work. So I just paid again to have it covered up and redone. A job that should've been done correctly in the first place. Read Less

Got my first and only tattoo done here by John and only paid $45. At the time, I loved it. I thought it was the cutest tattoo in the cutest place and I was ecstatic that he gave me such a deal. That was six years ago, fast forward to today and I don't hate my tattoo, I'm not ashamed of it but I FULLY understand that it needs to be covered up. Other than no longer being relevant to my life, my tattoo is incredibly faded. My fiancé actually thought the ink was green and the heart has faded to pretty much the color of my skin. I think maybe three years ago I had went to pierce my nipples (also done by John) and asked him about a cover up but he referred me to another artist in the shop. My issue here was with that artist, he went by "white boy" and one night I heard him yelling racial sluts at a black woman. They were having a very loud altercation and he was incredibly racist. As a black woman and a human being, I'm not going to give my hard earned money to an artist or an establishment that allows and supports that kind of behavior and language. Thank you but no thank you. I  would never patronize this business ever again and would recommend others to do the same. Read Less

SAVE YOURSELF, DO NOT GET PIERCED OR INKED HERE, YOU WILL HAVE A BOTCHED TATT OR PIERCING!!This shop is very small and not in the safest area. Instead of opening at normal business hours for a shop (11am/12pm), they don't open until almost 7pm and only have one piecer and one tattoo artist on at a time. Its dirty and has a strange odor about it- like a lockeroom mixed with cigarettes and patchouli oil! The body piecers and tattoo artists are all uneducated, unprofessional and unskilled... Sadly, it's like a playground for amateurs. I've never seen one good, solid tattoo come from this place; their color blending is poor, their lines aren't straight or clean, their shading isn't smooth, their work doesn't retain the same shape, and nothing is proportioned- you are basically paying for a prison tatt!! On top of the poor quality of work, they are over priced and if you return to have them fix something they ruined, you will be charged full price!! I only know 2 girls that went together to get a naval piercing and an industrial piercing but both piercings were not straight- they soon removed the piercings after they became severely infected!!Do yourself a favor and go to a more reputable, clean, well-lit shop so it gets done right the first time!!
